Bitumen Emulsion is made up of three basic ingredients which include Bitumen, an emulsifying agent and water. It is a well known
fact that asphalt and water will not mix, except under carefully controlled conditions using highly specialized equipment and chemical
additives. Cationic Emulsions which have positively charged ions may be used at ambient temperatures with aggregates, which do
not have to be completely dry. Emulsions are less hazardous to use and can be applied in the wider range of conditions and used for
many applications including road surfacing.

Quality: All Bitumen Emulsion supplied is of the highest quality and fully compliant with ASTM, AASHTO, equivalent EN and BS
International Standards and Test Methods. SGS Quality Testing and Analysis certification of the Bitumen products inspected when
requested, will be compliant with Product Specifications and International Standards. Quality assured manufacturing. Equivalent to BS
EN 13808.

Packaging: New steel drums or reconditioned steel drums. Weatherproof packaging for flexibility of storage.
